Battle of Britain

To mark the Battle of Britain's 70th anniversary, actor Ewan McGregor and his brother Colin, a former RAF pilot, take us on a journey to honor the heroes of 1940, bringing the amazing story of the Battle of Britain to a new generation. As Spitfires and Hurricanes once again fly over the White Cliffs of Dover, they reveal the inspiring personal stories of 'The Few' who were there and those still with us today.

Fascinating documentary on the Battle, seventy years on. Ewan is joined by his former RAF officer brother Colin to take a look at the planes, the pilots, the support network, and the history of the Battle of Britain. Having known quite a bit about that part of the war, there were still new things I picked up here. And it's always spectacular to watch Spitfires and Hurricanes in flight.
